ROTTERDAM —

Tomoko Fukumi captured the women’s 48-kilogram gold medal on her debut at the world judo championships Wednesday. Fukumi, representing Japan in the weight class in the absence of seven-time world champion Ryoko Tani, now pregnant with her second child, scored an ‘‘ippon’’ victory over Olympic champion Alina Dumitru of Romania in the semifinals.

The 24-year-old executed a ‘‘kosotogari’’ leg trip against the Romanian 3 minutes, 12 seconds into the match. In the final, Fukumi earned a ‘‘wazaari’’ point for a ‘‘seoinage’’ shoulder throw and held on to beat Spain’s Oriana Blanco. In men’s action, Japan’s Hiroaki Hiraoka claimed the men’s 60-kg silver medal. Georgiy Zantaraya of Ukraine used kosotogari against Hiraoka for ippon 1 minute, 9 seconds into the final.

Meanwhile, two-time Olympic 66-kg gold medalist Masato Uchishiba suffered a third-round exit. Uzbekistan’s Mirali Sharipov upset the 31-year-old with a ‘‘sumigaeshi’’ corner reversal throw.
Tsagaanbaatar Khashbaatar of Mongolia won the category, defeating Spain’s Sugoi Uriarte in the final.

Kano Jigoro (嘉納 治五郎, Kanō Jigorō^?, 28 October 1860 – 4 May 1938) was the founder of judo. Judo was the first Japanese martial art to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport. Pedagogical innovations attributed to Kano include the use of black and white belts, and the introduction of dan ranking to show the relative ranking between members of a martial art style. Well-known mottoes attributed to Kano include “Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort” and “Mutual Welfare and Benefit.”

In his professional life Kano was an educator. Important postings included serving as director of primary education for the Ministry of Education (文部省, Monbushō^?) from 1898-1901, and as president of Tokyo Higher Normal School from 1901 until 1920.^[1] He played a key role in getting judo and kendo made part of the Japanese public school programs of the 1910s.

Kano was also a pioneer of international sports. Accomplishments included being the first Asian member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) (he served from 1909 until 1938); officially representing Japan at most Olympic Games held between 1912 and 1936; and serving as a leading spokesman for Japan’s bid for the 1940 Olympic Games.

His official honors and decorations included the First Order of Merit and Grand Order of the Rising Sun and the Third Imperial Degree. Kano was inducted into the IJF Hall of Fame on 14 May 1999.^[2]

Early years

Kano Jigoro was born to a sake brewing family in the town of Mikage, Japan (now within Higashinada-ku, Kobe). The family sake brands included “Shiroshika”, “Hakutsuru”, and “Kiku-Masamune”. However, Kano’s father—Kano Jirosaku Kireshiba—was an adopted son who did not go into the family business. Instead he worked as a lay priest and as a senior clerk for a shipping line.^[3] Kano’s father was a great believer in the power of education, and he provided Jigoro, his third son, with an excellent education. The boy’s early teachers included the neo-Confucian scholars Yamamoto Chikuun and Akita Shusetsu.^[4] Kano’s mother died when the boy was nine years old, and his father moved the family to Tokyo. The young Kano was enrolled in private schools, and had his own English language tutor. In 1874 he was sent to a private school run by Europeans to improve his English and German skills.^[3]

At the time Kano stood 5 feet 2 inches but weighed only 90 pounds. He wished he were stronger.^[5] One day, Nakai Baisei (a friend of the family who was a member of the shogun’s guard), mentioned that jujutsu was an excellent form of physical training. He then showed Kano a few techniques by which a smaller man might overcome a larger and stronger opponent. Kano decided he wanted to learn the art despite Nakai’s insistence that such training was out of date and somewhat dangerous. Kano’s father also discouraged him from jujutsu, telling him to pursue a modern sport instead.^[6]

China’s Xian, Japan’s Masato defend Olympic judo titles

Defending lightweight judo champions Xian Dongmei of China and Uchishiba Masato of Japan won their second straight Olympic gold medals on Day 2 of the Beijing Games.

Xian did so on home turf in the 52-kilogram division on the women’s side, earning China’s first judo medal and the country’s fifth gold of the Games. She beat Korea’s An Kum-ae in the final with two koka, or 10-second holds.

Bronze medals on the women’s side were won by Algeria’s Soraya Haddad and Nakamura Misato of Japan. Haddad beat Kazakhstan’s Sholpan Kaliyeva in the first bronze medal final, and Misato beat Korea’s Kim Kyun-gok.

In the men’s 66-kg division, Masato beat Benjamin Darbalet of France in the gold medal final with an ippon, a throw that means instant victory.

One bronze medal went to Cuba’s Yordanis Arencibia, who also won bronze at the 2004 Games and is a three-time world championship bronze medallist.

Korea’s Pak Chol-min won the other bronze medal.

Canada’s Sasha Mehmedovic, 23, lost in the third round of the repechage to Russian Alim Gadanov.

Ryoko TAMURA Yawara-Chan

Ryoko Tamura was only sixteen years old when she upset Karen Briggs in the semifinals of the Judo extra-lightweight division at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. She lost to world champion Cécile Nowak of France in the final, but it was clear that the future belonged to Tamura. Indeed, she went undefeated for the next four years. Only 1.46m tall, Tamura was hugely popular in Japan, where her success had spawned an interest in women’s judo. She was known as “Yawara-chan” because of her resemblance to a popular comic book character. She entered the final of the 1996 Olympics with an 84-match winning streak. Her opponent was a complete unknown: 16-year-old Kye Sun-hi of North Korea, who had never heard of Tamura. Kye startled Tamura by attacking from the start and the double world champion was unable to establish her rhythm. With 22 seconds left, Kye scored with a leg hook and then added an insurance point when Tamura, on her knees, was penalized for “false attack.” Between the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, Tamura again won all of her matches. No Japanese athlete at the Sydney Games bore the weight of her nation’s expectations more than Tamura. “My goal at Sydney?” she said. “At best a gold, at worst a gold.” Tamura survived a near-upset in the semifinals when she was awarded a decision over North Korean Cha Hyon-hyang. As a contest, her final match against Lyubov Bruletova of Russia was an anticlimax, as Tamura used an uchimata (inner thigh throw) to score ippon after only 36 seconds. Tamura was mobbed by photographers and cameramen who broke down the barrier separating the athletes from the media. She was kept up doing live television interviews until 3am, when she was finally able to lock herself into her room at the Olympic Village. Alone at least, she burst into tears and then placed her gold medal on her pillow and fell asleep. At the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, Ryoko Tamura, whose name is now RyokoTani – her husband Yoshitomo Tani is a member of the Japanese baseball team – defended her title won in Sydney in 2000 and won the gold medal in the – 48kg, ahead of French woman Frédérique Jossinet. She thus became the first judoka to retain her Olympic title.
